Then, shouldn't the owner be able to handle the new directory? In my case, the owner creates the directory X but can't create a subdirectory inside the directory X! nor save a file into it! Can you explain that? Is the PHP not always running as the same user? Or is it base on type of the function?

Because SAFE MODE is on :-) It's all in the manual. something is created by the server process so it's also owned by server process. The script is owned by you and can access only directories and files owned by you. You can try to change the group (chgrp()) if safe_mode_gid is on, or use ftp functions to create the directories. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
